A girl nearly 10 years old was found dead on Saturday at her family home in Sarreguemines, Moselle. The prosecutor's office favors the suicide track, though the investigation is ongoing. No confirmation of bullying has been established at this stage.
On Saturday, a young girl was found lifeless in her family home in Sarreguemines, a town in Moselle near the German border. The Sarreguemines prosecutor's office confirmed this information first reported by the Républicain Lorrain newspaper, stating that the investigation is ongoing.
«The investigation is ongoing», the prosecutor's office told AFP, adding that it appears to be «a voluntary act by the girl», who would have turned 10 soon. Officials provided no further details on the exact circumstances of the death or the child's possible motivations.
According to the Républicain Lorrain, nothing at this stage allows confirmation that the girl was a victim of bullying. The prosecutor's office echoed this caution, noting it is awaiting results from the medico-legal examination scheduled for the coming days. This autopsy should clarify the precise cause of death.
Sarreguemines, known for its border heritage and industries, is a place where family tragedies remain rare, making this event particularly poignant for the local community. Investigations continue to determine the facts accurately, with no additional speculation from authorities.
